TL;DR
- Rosario Murillo inaugurated a hospital in San Rafael del Sur on land confiscated from businessman Héctor Briceño.
- Héctor Briceño is in forced exile after being expelled from Nicaragua with his family in November 2024.
- Briceño claims the regime confiscated six of his properties at gunpoint, including the land where the new hospital stands.
- Murillo presented the hospital inauguration as a benefit to the people, framing it as a transformation of a site previously used to "do harm."
- Briceño responded by calling Murillo "cynical," "immoral," and a "thief" for the confiscation of his family's registered properties.
- The article notes this is a pattern of the dictatorship, which has confiscated property from religious institutions and universities, repurposing them for social centers or renaming them to honor Sandinista figures.
